Database Security and Inference
A new article from The Essentials Series: Messaging and Web Security - Volume III has just been posted on database security and inference. Here is an excerpt:
Mature relational databases provide an array of access control mechanisms to limit information to only the persons and processes that are authorized to use it. In spite of the significant measures in place, there are still ways for unauthorized users to gain information they should not have. The problem is not that the database code is vulnerable but that the nature of information allows for inferences about data we cannot see.
For more on security management, database security tools, end user security and more, see the Essential Series, volume III.
